Unquestionably the best Superman figure ever made.

Without a doubt.ย 

Thirded.ย  It looked like it as soon as the promo shots hit, didn't disappoint, and years later it's still the best.

In retrospect it's odd that no other character has had such a definitive version made for it.ย  Batman Hush comes close, but Superman nailed it harder.ย  It's probably because most other superheroes have so many costume variations that is hard to get a consensus on which is the definitive look, but Superman's costume is pretty simple and really only has one definitive look so it's easier to nail it.

Almost the end of the month and no update yet on when the replacement Battinson figures will arrive, right?

Gonna be pissed if AmiAmi mails out my Iron Man Mark 50 next week because Battinson isn't in yet when I waited specifically until Battinson came out to order it.ย  🤨ย

I think Superman is a better figure, too. Both of the Hush Batman figures have had a hunch to them. They're very crotch-forward. I'm not sure if it's the weight of the cape or something about torso/legs. Hoping they improve with Knightfall Batman.

That headsculpt needs work. It looks great under the hood but by itself in the light it doesn't really look like The Rock. The other two heads do though so maybe it's the paint job? I know we're getting the variant in the suit he wore at the end of the movie but I would much rather have a Hawkman figure and the other JSA members. The movie was ass but the suit designs were pretty good.

Never used Nin Nin before, how do they compare to Ami Ami/HLJ?

Its cheaper in general and for me living in Spain they save me some money cause you can ask them every time to low the value and mark it as gift, I was an Amiami customer til I knew about Nin Nin, they havent let me down for the moment and I got pretty much every Mafex from them.

Yeah, all this Catwoman talk has got me rethinking my Mafex display, gotta move it up for better visibility (and I never did take Huntress or Nightwing out of the boxes). Catwoman is so good I think it's why I'm disappointed in any other offerings - like I know it's apples to oranges comparing her to McFarlane Selinas since if you're paying five times the price for a figure it should be significantly better, but it makes me wish Mafex would do a Balent-era Selina too, with the same level of articulation. (The other Hush figures have classic enough looks they work in almost any display, though. Bats/Supes/Grayson are all chef's kiss and work across a lot of eras.)ย 

ย 

since Mafex is doing the Knightfall story arc, expect a Balent Catwoman.

I just received a DHL notice from HobbySearch for The Batman. I'm surprised that they got the corrected versions out so quickly.

knowing how Mafex is, it will probably be delayed.
